UK Festivals: Glastonbury, T In The Park, V Festival - NOOLers Base Camp Thread — Forum Archive

Another weird one, but I believe you'll have a full Jetstream at V...

V Festival - to be held over the weekend of Saturday 20th and Sunday 21st August, and held at Hylands Park, Chelmsford and at Weston Park, Staffordshire - has confirmed its first act.

The first act confirmed for this year is Scissor Sisters, who are to be one of the headliners. They'll play at Weston Park (Staffordshire) on the Saturday, and Hylands Park (Chelmsford) on the Sunday.

Although this might seem a strange choice, Scissor Sisters had the biggest selling album last year, and their show at V last year was voted gig of the year by the listeners of Virgin Radio. Even those who aren't huge fans of their music can't fail to be impressed by their live performances.

More acts will be announced over the coming weeks - they'll be over 80 bands playing.

I wouldn't take this as confirmation, this is just the BBC picking up on Michael Eavis's quote from last week. Nothing has been confirmed on the Glastonbury website yet, so it is still a strong rumour.

As for V, the promotional e-mail was sent out today and confirmed the presence of Scissor Sisters, but there was no mention of New Order at all. They didn't announce the bill though.

We'll just have to wait a few days longer.

You could always ask the management Spotnick!

I bet they will clash with SYSTEM 7, shite, I will have to miss Nu Ordah, hope they Don't clashhhhhhhhhhhhhh

8 Feb 2005, 13:22

They wont. From what you told me, i gather that steve hillage plays the last slot on sunday night all the time?

Seems as though the order wont be headlining, but in the graveyard slot before kylie. Dont see why eavis doesnt book them as other stage headliners!!!!

Cheers Liam I may watch em then with a cool dry cider :)

On an off-topic subject, System 7 have just made some of their vinyl-only tracks available as paid downloadable MP3's via their official website - must get round to getting some of these! :)

Will probably go to V at either (or both!) Chelmsford or Stafford, but I do hope that they play an actual venue rather than just festivals...

l8rs,

Nick ;)

A suggestion for NOOL basecamp for v-stafford is beside the outdoor skateboarding ramp,lot's of room for all the NOOLERS and is not far from the main V Stage as well...

I'd heard they were doing the Saturday, and not the Kylie support slot on Sunday. I take it Coldplay is the Saturday then?

11 Feb 2005, 11:59

Coldplay are on the saturday which ties in with what we've been told Al.

V Festival - this is not confirmed.

Just the Daily Star acting on rumours and printing it as fact. But it might happen, you never know ;-)

Nick, Just saw System 7 at Glasgow - ACE, if I can help with any stuff you need let me know

Al thought i would get on this forum stuff but have not quite worked out how to change my name to something more profound. like redknapp hater for example. please tell me how to do it. anyway I think its my turn to drive between the v gigs if you want a lift and can cope with camping. just as long as johny giles does not ruin my holiday again like he did in the states.

As if I'd do that Gary :evil4:

You up for the States this year, so you can ruin my hols this time ?!

I'll be at Glastonbury for the first time in 18 years, if I can get tickets. Don't really want to go for the whole time, but looks like I'll have to.... happy to meet up with everyone!

17 Feb 2005, 12:41

hi Mark, yeah i may be up for the states if they do some more gigs in a few cities. I will speak to gordy at the weekend, if it only the desert one i wont bother, i hope they play in spain or france this summer. i dont really fancy only being able to buy, one beer person and showing my passport at the bar everytime, but yeah we did meet a couple of nice americans in the end if we tried hard. everything was awesome and triple a i recall no real depth or soul

Count me and Feline in for V at Chelmsford :) . Of course we have to make some arrangments first, since we ll have to travel by plane, stay at some hostel etc etc, (we ll be naturally based in London) - but i think they will all be set at least by April. I ve been to Chelmsford before in 2003, so i know the way and the details, but if anyone can help us to get back to our hostel from the Liverpool street train station we WILL be gratefull (for some reason in 2003 there werent any taxis waiting for us - LOL). Anyways, we ll keep in touch, hope to meet and see u guys there .
